Burda Style For people who sew

Has anyone used this website? I’m American and am afraid that something is getting lost in translation for me on their website. Could someone outline the steps to purchasing a pattern? I wish that it was as easy as Burdastyle. Thanks!

  American Also, do not know about the ordering process, left a message on your wall.

  They only ask for a few measurements, they still need alterations for a FBA, narrow shoulder etc, no refunds if they do not work.

  Removed the info on CDs found some bad reviews no refunds even if defective on those either.

  Used a few free patterns on Leko link:

  for Mother-In-Law they fit her well.

  Sorry went off topic a little, hoping others have more input.

  Laeh sent me message she is going to try a free pattern before ordering.

  Patterns that adjust to you, based upon you measurements? Needless to say, I’m intrigued.

  I came across a series of CDs on sewingpatterns.com. They are $8 a CD and each CD contains about 10 patterns. The patterns don’t have that vintage look and appear pretty up-to-date. I’m trying to find some concrete reviews to see exactly how well they work.

    I just bought 3 of the CDs when they were on special – haven’t made any up yet but I did a test print on one dress and all the measurements looked good.
